EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving depicts Pope Vigilius (c. 500-555), the Roman Pope from the 6th century, during his papacy from 537 to 555. Elected in 536, Pope Vigilius is shown here in regal attire, adorned with the papal tiara and holding the pastoral staff. His face, with its expressive features and serene expression, conveys a sense of wisdom and spiritual authority. The pope is dressed in the traditional papal robes, including a long, flowing robe and a miter or mitre, which was a symbol of his ecclesiastical rank. In one hand, he holds a cross, a powerful symbol of his religious leadership and the Christian faith. The intricate details of the engraving, such as the delicate folds of the pope's robe and the intricate patterns on his miter, reveal the skillful craftsmanship of the artist. This stunning portrait, created during the Byzantine period and now housed in the National Library in Rome, Italy, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the papacy and the Middle Ages. Pope Vigilius is an important figure in the history of the Roman Catholic Church, and this engraving serves as a testament to his enduring legacy.
